Did the GAP in 2015, averaged 40 miles a day, often in light rair. The gap is a first class trail, easy ride for both mind and body. Was going to do the C&O at same time but cancelled to to many reports from north heading riders that trail was near impossable due to rain and mud. Point is, yes you can do it in 3 days but why would you? Lots of things to do and enjoy. Why abuse and damage yourself and your bike? Life is short. People will be more interested in the great time you had than how you set a personal record. (Friendly advice from someone who did an "around the world" in 62/63 and is planning to do the C&O this year.)
